The Croix-Rouge car boot sale of Recoubeau-Jansac: solidarity treasure hunting in Drôme

Every end of April, the Red Cross section of Recoubeau-Jansac organizes its annual car boot sale. This solidarity event, the profits of which go directly to the Red Cross missions, is a fine example of the associative commitment of the inhabitants of this discreet village in the interior of Drôme. Volunteer exhibitors, Red Cross volunteers, and bargain hunters gather for a day combining social utility and conviviality.

Recoubeau-Jansac, a village in the Drôme des Baronnies

Recoubeau-Jansac is a commune of about a hundred inhabitants (26310) located in the Drôme des Baronnies, at the confluence of the Riou and the Roubion, about twenty kilometers northwest of Montélimar. This quiet village, surrounded by lavender, holm oaks, and scrubland, is one of those rural villages that maintain a dense associative and community life despite their small population. The name of the commune, which combines two former villages (Recoubeau and Jansac), testifies to a rich local history.
